The quirky bassist was arrested and charged with misdemeanor child endangerment and trespassing on Saturday after being found with a nine-year-old girl in a restricted area during a concert by the Dead at Jones Beach in New York.

Gordon, 38, was a backstage guest of the Dead's (né the Grateful Dead) along with some members of the Hell's Angels. The bassist was documenting the show with his camera when he met the daughter of one of the Angels' and asked if he could take some "art photos" of her, according to police.

Only problem: The musician didn't bother to get her parents' permission.

When her mom and dad couldn't find her, they alerted security, who discovered Gordon and the child fully clothed in a boathouse behind the amphitheater, a dimly lit area accessed only by state employees.

Authorities said the child, whose identity is being withheld because of her age, was uninjured and was immediately reunited with her mother.

According to local station WNBC-TV, some biker buddies of the girl's father dispensed their own brand of justice, roughing up the musician before cops arrived. Gordon was not seriously injured, however.

The station also said Gordon initially told cops, "I may have shown bad judgment, but I am not a pedophile."
